i-Crafter - Christmas Double Carrier

*** Please scroll down for my Tuesday Morning Sketches post *** 

Hello!  I'm on the i-Crafter blog today featuring a really fun idea using the Double Carrier box by Lori Whitlock. 

How to make this adorable box...

Reminder:  You will need a die cut machine that cuts larger dies.  It works perfectly in my Gemini.

1. Cut 2 pieces of the base from Kraft card stock.

2. Cut 2 pieces of each decorative layer panel.  I am using Christmas paper from DCWV.

3. Adhere the decorative panels to the base panels of your box.  Then fold on each score line using your i-Crafter Burnisher or other tool to ensure sharp folds.  Remember all folds are mountain folds except the handle, those are valley folds.

4.  Assemble box by gluing one side to glue tab taking care to line up edges.  Then repeat on other side.  Complete box bottom by folding short sides in first and gluing to one long side.  Then glue other long side.  I like using liquid glue, it gives you a bit more time work.  My favorite glue is Bearly Art.

5.  Now it's time embellish.  I used the bow dies from Scotty Holiday, the circle die which is also part of the Double Carrier set and the wreath (which I cut out several times, snipped in half and then layered to make a bigger, fuller wreath) and sentiment from the Ribbon Rosette Christmas Add On die set.  I made the berries using a small hole punch.

6.  Fill it up with treats!
